Pie Town, a high-desert settlement in western New Mexico, is the setting here, and the young man tying corn into bundles belongs to the homesteading families who settled the area in the 1930s. Pie Town drew homesteaders under federal programs during the Depression, when farmers arrived to work dry land at high elevation with short growing seasons. The photograph shows hands-on labor typical of those small family operations, where children often helped with harvest chores. Its placement on a county fair board is a reminder that such farm work was often showcased at local fairs.
